[urq] authenticity of door rings

[W. Bean]

mine have a tab that sticks out about 4-5 inches, maybe more,  from the end of the rings (in other words the backing paper is not cut in a rectangle just around the rings) that possibly could be used to line up at the leading edge of the door.... I guess I need to look at more pics to get a better idea.  

Thanks
